Week 5 2023: Ravens @ Steelers

[Edman]

Lamar Jackson isn't very good. At all.

[Mojouw]

I actually think the Raven got away with a hold on that play.

I swear they hold a ton without getting called.

[El Kabong]

A better quarterback and the Steelers are getting blown out again.

It's only 7 points but it feels like a blow out because our offense is so inept.

Pick any QB in the history of the game…result is same.

Not built to play from behind…

[Mojouw]

Harbaugh is an idiot. he just gave up 3 free points. Dumbass.

Would you be worried if your him?

I wouldn’t punt or kick field goals against this Steelers team.

[EzraTank]

WTF was Harballs doing?

[dislocatedday]

Harbaugh is too arrogant. He should have kicked the FG and made it a 2 score game. Canada himself said the Steelers are not able to come from behind, so 10 point lead means game over.

[EzraTank]

I swear they hold a ton without getting called.

Teams with running QB's always do.

I actually laughed out loud on that comment!

Conspiracy theory alert:

Harbaugh is keeping it close on purpose to keep the Steelers shit coaching staff employed for future Ratbird wins….

If they seriously don't fire Canada during the bye week, no matter the outcome today then I will officially tune out this season and maybe for good

[Edman]

I’ve never said successful.

I’m not sure why this is so difficult to comprehend.

Canada is bad.

KP looks like he can only flash against below average NFL defenses.

Even though the playcall is useless, a truly talented QB could at least accurately throw a crossing route.

True. And a talented WR can run routes and seperate. And a truly talented RB can break big runs. And a truly talented OL can create holes. None of those are happening. It's not like the Offense is humming and Pickett is dragging it back.

You are right and Kenny Pickett may very well be a below average quarterback. He is not good enough to overcome the poor playcalling. But we cannot definitively say for sure that he or anyone else is the problem when nothing around him is working. How many players do we need to keep replacing?

Not a terrible idea.

I think I said that about Canada last season going into the bye.........be prepared to be disappointed.

Spot on good post.

[dislocatedday]

I think the Steelers miss Diontae Johnson greatly as well. I know there are some that think he is no good, but he does get separation fairly easily.

I've been a fan since the 70s, I don't ever remember their offense being this bad

DJ is not my fav, but he sure can get open.

[HollywoodSteel]

I honestly think an important difference between the end of last year and this year is the absence of DJ. Say what you want about running the wrong way after the catch but he’s a master route runner and that’s what we need. He was absolutely uncoverable against the Raiders last season.

We can see when individual players fail at basic football things.

Like we can watch a blocker fail to get leverage and lose at the point of contact.

We can watch a WR run a bad route.

You can see that Pickens, Austin, PF, and Harris could do pretty good in a real NFL offense. You can see that Robinson can’t run anymore and needs a great deal of scheme and formation help to get open.

You can see that Moore and Cole are below average OL.

I think the same thing. DJ is a great route runner, he gets open, and he plays the game on time. Kenny needs someone to play the game on time and be open for him. He can seemingly never take a 5 step drop and throw to someone on time and open. DJ was that guy he could always rely on to get open. Plus with DJ out, Pickens is getting more attention on the other side. He isn't dealing with it well and needs to learn how to defeat coverages so every throw isn't a contested catch.

It wouldn't be a real Steelers experience without a Gunner sighting.....

[Mach1]

Great call there canada

[pczach]

That was a good play by Pickett. He foot hit the ground and he let the throw go to Robinson.

[El Kabong]

Stuffed.

[Mojouw]

Pre snap motion equals run to the left.

Every
Single
Time

There is another shitty play call on 3rd and short.

It was.

[86WARD]

That’s just a dumb play. These guys are the definition of insane…
